Final discussion

This is a question-answer session where the guide would ask questions to participant’s different sounds they heard and find out who heard the most sounds. In the second session ask participants what sounds they heard. Then these sounds should be discussed and if there were human noises, the impacts of man on nature can also be discussed.
